    1980 RANKED

    Upon rewatching, I realized that I had seriously underrated this film. This is peak Star Wars, and there was some sort of magic or charm here that has yet to be recaptured since this released in 1980. So well balanced and well paced despite all the branching storylines going on. An awesome twist which was made better because I watched this with my gf who somehow didn’t know that it was coming lol. Great performances and characters with…

    MCU RANKED

    After watching Guardians 3, I was inspired to re watch the MCU from the beginning, which I know is probably a mistake, and will probably take me months…. With that being said, this movie actually holds up surprisingly well all things considered. The action is great, and the cgi is fantastic for the time. My biggest problem with the film is one that many super hero films struggle with even to this day, which is having…

    i love tarantino’s work more and more as time goes on, and i really love how visually and tonally vibrant this film is. Ima Thurman as the the bride is one of the best leading women of all time and there’s something super iconic about her that still resonates 20 years later. Will be discussing the film more on episode 68 of the pod. listen here.

    didn’t know what to expect based on mixed reviews but i was pleasantly surprised here. Ayo proved she can be a commanding leading lady, and John Malkovich did his thing. yes the film is a bit derivative and doesn’t have the most satisfying conclusion, but i think a lot more works than doesn’t. will be discussing on episode 68 of the pod. listen here.

    Bong Joon Ho did his thing with this, loved the humor and loved how the cast all really fully bought into their characters. Pattinson is just such a talented actor man it’s crazy that he was edward cullen. i feel like steven yeun was a bit underutilized here, but overall really enjoyed the film and the characters. will discuss the film more on episode 68 of the pod. listen here.

    haunting and beautiful. perfectly modernizes the classic story. some of the best gothic horror i’ve ever seen, and the best horror film of the year. Bill Skarsgård is an absolute force as Orlok and is completely unrecognizable. let Robert Eggers do whatever he wants.
